'Morning Alan. This is my second visit and I still can't think what to write. I did begin a diatribe about bluebell woods - no objection to them whatever, it's just that once they begin appearing they flourish in these pages, often in greater proliferation than actual bluebells in an actual bluebell wood . . . .
I still haven't anything to say really. This is a most agreeable composition, the blue carpet leading the eye through the trees to which it draws attention. Above all the trees are magnificently displayed. So it's atmospheric really.

Regards
Bill

P.S.: Beamish entry (assume over-60) appears expensive at first sight (£13) but the ticket is valid for an entire year: we have been about six times since January and renewed at the beginning of June. Even on quiet days there is something different to see.

Hooks matter to me not a fig- I pour scorn on your botanical ignorance, and laugh at your pathetic attempts at intimidation. Quick judgements arise out of slow perceptions. "Get thee to a nunnery, Pilgrim," as John Wayne famously said

I think your monitor must be more accurate than the others', including mine. They were actually a kind of mauve/pink. It was a National Trust property in Northumberland, and it's possible they introduced them, as I've never seen them anywhere else. The N.T. do stuff like that.

Thanks, Dave.
